Grizzlies Unveil New Team Logo and Colors
Link
Quote:
The new Grizzlies logo represents strength, power and courage. Character, tenacity and fearlessness. The Grizzly symbolizes Memphis basketball at its grittiest, at its toughest, at its best. It symbolizes Grizzlies players and the fierce passion they bring to the court every night. It symbolizes incredible leadership and their commitment to winning and class. It symbolizes the maturity of an organization that will settle for nothing less than the ultimate – success.
"I love our new logo," said West. "I love the eyes on the bear. The eyes are focused, determined and powerful. This is what this logo and our team represents…power, determination and a focus towards winning."
From the base color of blue that brings this identity to life (Memphis Midnight, Beale Street Blue and Smoke Blue) to the neon-inspired typeface of the city name. From the intense gaze of the Grizzly that represents a serious and competitive team to the subtle references to the colors of Egyptian royalty (Grizzlies Gold). All elements of this new identity were put in place to represent this city and this game.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see the jerseys (although I'll wait to see who gets traded before I buy one).
I'm very impressed by the shades they selected. I had been worrying that the end result would look too close to the Tigers.

The combination of sky and navy blue has always been a favorite of mine, I'm jealous you guys have it. I can't wait to see the uniforms, you certainly are two for two already with the colors and logo.

damn, that look sick. it reminds me of the timberwolves logo for some reason. BUT all and all i might pick up a jersey too, maybe GASOL? or BATTIER? gasol will be the safer bet though.

It's definately similar to the T-puppies, but way way sicker. It's more aggresive, less cartoonish, and the colors are awesome . The eyes are effin sweet they did such a good job with the color scheme. The logo is dope, colors are even doper, jerseys should be dope too, and i'm gonna make an ***outofUandMe that the floor of the Feddy is gonna be hype.
Following the Wolves format doesn't bother me a bit, because in actuality ours are way better. Not only will Grizz-Unit fans love it but the rest of the league is gonna be all over them. Imagine now we get KB8, and this jersey is the leagues best seller.

Really like the colors.
The Memphis colors/jerseys of the past were some of the ugliest I've seen.
Nice improvement.

All in all, I like it. The colors are what we expected, as well as the logo, but it's nice to see it for real in the new team colors.
T-Wolves & Mav's influence is written all over it though. It appears our colors are exact copies of the Mav's & the T-Wolves logo obviously influenced our design. Doesn't matter though, the Bulls & Blaziers have the same colors too.
All things considered, I'll give it two thumbs up.

They are pretty similar, especially if you take one the animal face of their logo.
 
I like the new logo nontheless, it's much better with the colors in it.

They should have left some of the red and the bear needs teeth, it looks more like a care bear than a Grizzlie but that would look identical to the t-wolves. Oh well, who am I to disapprove of any thing The Logo decides on. They better leave the claw on the ball for the center court graphic.

I love the colors, but I just have one question. Will the yellow be used in the uniform at all?? I think the color scheme would work nicely with a little yellow mixture into the uni's. Yes, it is reminiscent of UCLA's color scheme, but hell, UCLA's are kick ***. Overall, I approve wholeheartedly with the new logo. I can't wait to see the alte | |
